5.15.1. Installation of Ncurses

This ensures that Ncurses does not build support for the Ada
compiler which may be present on the host but will not be
available once we enter the chroot environment.

--enable-overwrite

This tells Ncurses to install its header files into
/tools/include, instead of
/tools/include/ncurses, to
ensure that other packages can find the Ncurses headers
successfully.

--enable-widec

This switch causes wide-character libraries (e.g.,
libncursesw.so.5.9) to be built
instead of normal ones (e.g., libncurses.so.5.9). These wide-character
libraries are usable in both multibyte and traditional 8-bit
locales, while normal libraries work properly only in 8-bit
locales. Wide-character and normal libraries are
source-compatible, but not binary-compatible.

Compile the package:

make

This package has a test suite, but it can only be run after the
package has been installed. The tests reside in the test/ directory. See the README file in that directory for further
details.
